About this study

Evaluate the association between level of decreased corneal sensitivity and diabetic retinopathy severity scale

Read the detailed description

This study is assessing the association between neurotrophic keratopathy and diabetic retinopathy severity by examining subjects with diabetic retinopathy to associate DRSS and disease characteristics with corneal desensitization. In addition, to better understand the relationship of disease duration, HbA1c, and status of concurrent systemic therapies and diabetic retinopathy treatments, predictive modelling will be performed to determine predictive factors of patients at highest risk of developing reduced corneal sensitivity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Retinopathy and Neurotrophic Keratitis, run by Medical Center Ophthalmology Associates at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lolita Kirschbaum (2106972006, lkirschbaum@mcoaeyecare.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Endpoint (time frame: 3months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Oct 2022.
